VMP S: preparation and practical assessment

Our sailing programme is based at Yacht Club Kovářov on Lake Lipno, using the Cafe 24 sailboat. Preparation covers boat handling, departing and berthing, tacking, gybing and the Man Overboard manoeuvre.

The practical assessment checks your existing skills. Refresher sailing and training must be arranged separately. Please contact us before booking if you are a beginner or need instruction in English.

Dates and booking

The sailing component listed with our combined VMP programme is planned for spring 2027; the exact date is still to be confirmed. Ask us about current preparation and assessment availability before making travel arrangements.

See the Czech VMP S page or contact StormJib to confirm the service, price, date and language before booking.

For the separate motorboat programme, see the VMP M course in Prague and Čelákovice (Czech).
